My Dear Sir: My' first Impulsa 3s to answer: Let your son be a

plumber. The beneficent function ,ot plumbers constantly evo&e3 Taore and more, of my admiration. When I draw hot water instantaneously in the moraing,* ."When. I consider the sanitary dis,posal of sewage,.! say to myself: "It you had been a plumber you ^•wouia be a useful person. What ,are you now?" . ."••-Yet I am aware that your son, If he became a lawyer, might turn • out to be another Brandeis or Cardozo: or, if a doctor, lie might be the very one to discover a cure .lor cancer. My conscience would , feel guilty of sin against, human."kind to think that I had caused a boy io become- a plumber who, •were he a.doctor instead, would .

have cured cancer..
